Have you ever walked into a store and just...stopped?
That was me at Shabahang Rug Gallery.
Hand-knotted rugs hanging floor to ceiling. Stacks of them waist-high. Colors I don't have names for. And when you get close (you will get close), the detail in every single knot is truly stunning. The quality and workmanship in that showroom is something you have to see in person. My photos don't do it justice, and I'm the one who took them.
Then there's Bruce Shabahang, the owner, who might be the NICEST guy in Brookfield. He's already invited me back for Turkish coffee. Bruce, I'm taking you up on that. Soon. :)
You can meet Bruce and the gallery in the September issue of Brookfield City Lifestyle. Better yet, go stand in the showroom yourself.
